NEW CHITINASE OF BACTERIAL ORIGIN WITH BROAD FUNGICIDE SPECTRUM

摘要

The present descriptive specification describes a new DNA sequence having strong promoter activity in bacteria and a method for expressing a gene which determines the synthesis of a bacterial chitinase having a broad fungicide spectrum employing said sequence. It also describes a method for producing said chitinase in bacteria using the sequence described, in particular a method for producing the product of the desired gene in large quantity in the bacterial cell and obtaining it secreted to the cell exterior.
